The Poor indian Tells His Story TO Gov.
ernor Pierce.

ernor Pierce.
When Ex-Governor Pierce was first ap-
pointed Executive of Dakota he was
waited on by Low-Down Dog, one of the
chiefs Of the Sioux After a pull at the
pipe Of peace, the chieftain said:
Has the Great White Chief large
heart? Has he heart as big as an OK?
We'll, think So" replied the Governor
modestly, / have been EMPLOYED on the
Chicago press for a number of years.
believe that is what they call it,
" 1t Is well for the poor red man that
you have" replied Mr.. Dog, "and may it be
touched by his suferings and move YOU to
do something for him. The white chiefs
which the Great Father has sent out TO us
before have had small hearts and they
have known nothing of the red man.
They have spent their days and even
their nights issuing notarial commissions
and planting county seats out on the
prairie where they will never grow.
and the Indian has had no attention.
While the White Chief has sat in the big
brick tepee with the gable end blown off.
the poor son of the forest has sorrowfIlllv
eaten his dogtail soup, with a great deal
more soup to it than dogtail While the
White Chief has drawn to pair of kings
the red man has inadvertently got hold of
piece of meat put out by the settlers to
poison wolves, and has sustained fatal re-
suits. The White Chief has sat in the
back room and played poker with the Su-
perintendent Of Public Instruction from
Montana, and learned that there are five
aces in pack of cards. but the poor strug-
CLING aborigine has wandered sadly along
the trail, and failed to discover the dead
horse until decomposition had so far ad-
vanced that it could only be eaten with
pain and misgiving. The White Chief has
reveled among luxuries. He has eaten and
drank the best, and has been happy. But
poor LO has frequently not had enough
liver in the wigwam for the next meal.
While the White Chiefs wife has
gone about the neighborhood hap
Ply, borrowing little tea
and coffee cupful of sugar and talking
about the imposslbilitv of getting a good
hired girl, our wives have been humping
up the winters wood from the river, one
stick at a time. While the White
Chiefs wife has discovered that the minis
tiers wife's dress was two seasons behind
the fashion, our wives have found out that
the coffee we go from the Indian agent is
made of the white beans common to Bos-
ton, and that when she wraps the agency
blanket around her it splits up the back
like an Episcopalian church steeple when
the tightening strikes it. This is Just about
the way things have run in the past, and
hope have impressed it on you that you
should try to do something to help us out"

QUEER New JERSEY LAVA very vague
law has been discovered which is, in effect,
that it is unlawful in this State for any
who sell farm and garden products to allow
the basket or package to go out of their
possession without first demanding and re-
ceivinga sum of money equal to its full
value, the money to be refunded upon the
return of the basket or package provided,
however, the owners name is displayed
upon them. The penalty is $40 and costs,
to be sued for by any person. This is
what the wise men at Trenton laid down
as the law last winter. They probably
meant that grocers, etc, should not dispose
of their customers baskets without first
obtaining full value therefor; but the law
is drawn in such way that no one can

Press CensOrship in Italy.

Printing in Italy is still subject to strict
censorship laws. Any publication which
may offend the authorities is at once seized
and the printed copies confscated. The
most popular journal in Rome is the Mes
seager, turning its title over into English.
The other morning the editor, who had
delivered copy to The censor, and had in
the meanwhile gone on printing, was noti-
fled that he must stop the press, distribute
the type in the presence of the police and
destry what copies he had on hand. This
was done to the satisfaction of the officials,
and the tipstaves then departed. The glee
o. the editor was great. He knew how to
circumvent them. His paper is printed on
a Marinoni press from stereotype plate,
made from 4 paper mold. The mold was
preserved, as was also the plate. Hence the
next night, after business ended for other
people, he put the plates on his press and
quietly ran off the requisite number OF
sheets of the suppressed issue; these were
then carefully made up into unsuspicious-
looking packages. Thus the Objectionable
| number was issued, care being taken to
place these packages in the hands of tried
and trusted agents, who distributed the
copies throughout the kingdom Next
day the Objectionable article was every
where. The police had no knowledge OF
! any improvements in the art since 1913,
and were completely mystifed. The edi-
tors JOY at outwitting the authorities was
so great that it more than compensated for
the pecuniary loss incurred by printing

WHAT A CAvALRYMAN SAYS ABOUT

Golden Days that "a horse will never step
on man Intentionally. 1t is standing
order with cavalry that should man be-
come dismomted he must lie down and be
perfectly still If he does so the entire
company will pass over him and he will
not be injured. \ horse notices where he
is going, and is on the lookout for a firm

stinct with him, therefore, to step over 3

by the animal knocking down, and not by

How THE FAIR Sen Use Perfumes
The indiscrimiuate use of perfumes is a
thing of the past among the creme de la
creme. \ lady no longer tips bottle of
triple extract over her handkerchief or
sprinkles it ad nauseum over herself
Patchouli and musk are Stunned now in
any form, and delicate odors, such as vio-
let, heliotrope or orris root, are used.
Even these milder odors are employed in
the shape of sachet powders, instead of
liquid extracts, in many cases. laces, un-
derwear, ribbons, note paper, gloves and
all smaller articles of dress are made fra
grant by large sachet bags that are of 4
size corresponding to the bureau or dress
ing table drawers. These bags are COM
posed of silk and lined with raw cotton,
upon which the powder is spread. This,
in addition to very moderate use of a
faint, suggestive odor, such as the wood
violet, for instance, is all in the way of
perfume that is allowable by really re-
fined woman. Partisan dressmakers have
way of sending perfrmed gowns to their
customers. \ strange feature connected
with this fashion is the fact that the odor
remains forever-EcchGnge.

\ CONNECTICUT GIRL As A CAR Coz
DUcToR.-An Ansonia young lady had oc-
casiOn to act as conductor on one of the
street cars one day last week under pecu-
liar circumstances. In company with an
other young lady she was riding from Bir-
mingham, and by mistake in depositing
fares for both dropped a quarter OF dollar
into the box whence no change comes.
The quarter .jingled against the glass sides
with an unusually loud sound that caused
the driver 20 take his eyes off the road for
an instant and place them in the direction
of the fare-box. As his optics caught sight
of the quarter settling itself down the glass
toboggan they also noticed an outstretched
hand belonging to the young lady, and his
ears heard the familiar sound of Change,
please" The Jehu explained away ali
thoughts that the young lady had of ever
getting her fifteen cents change, and told
her that the best way he saw was for her
to collect three fares from the passengers
as they entered the car. Accordingly the
young lady, as any sensible person would
do, bided her time, and from trio who
boarded the car collected the amount o
her deficiency, thus balancing herself with
the comp ly's treasure.-Ansonia (C6an.

TULARE COUNTY

Tuiare county is at last realizing the
fact that she has countless acres Of fine
land well adapted to grape growing, but it
is only within the past three years that
any important plantations have been made.
There are probably 800 acres Of vines in
the county principally in raisin grapes,
and as the conditions are similar, her
products viii undoubtedly equal those of
Fresno in excellence.
Kern county has also planted a consid-
cradle acreage of vineyard in the past few
years, and as a heavy immigration is pour
ing into the whole San Joaquin valley, it
will be but a short time before the Won
derful resources of this county will be
more fully developed. Regarding the
future Of the industry in general l have
no fears. Prices for grapes this season are
very low, but do not believe the depres-
sion viii be of long duration.
The business of eondensing must is in
its infancy, and when fully developed Will
undoubtedly relieve the market Of a large
part Of the surplus crop. Cur principal
trouble has arisen from the fact that our
wines have been marketed too young, but
/ believe most growers Will now hold
them until they are properly matured, and
sales in the East viii De materially in
creased in consequence.

Review of Vineyard Pro-

following report to the State Board, under
date Of June so 1877:
a review Of the progress made in witt
culture IN this district since my last report
is very gratifying. Two years ago the only
counties that made any pretensions toward
grape-growing were San Joaquin and
Fresno, while now the greatest interest is
taken N yiticulture throughout the whole
San Joaquin valley, and there has been an
immense increase in the acreage both OF
wine and raisin grapes, notably in Fresno
